Transsexual Issues Therapists in Austin

“I offer one-on-one counseling for individuals exploring a variety of concerns including: anxiety/panic, depression, stress, life transitions, coming out, and more. I also offer relationship counseling which includes support for all kinds of relationship structures, such as same-sex partners, BDSM, bi-sexual, and multiple relationship/marriage structures (such as polyamory, swinger relationships, and open relationships). Whether you are currently working through a conflict in your relationship or pursuing a change to the relationship dynamic, we can process related perspectives of all parties involved while working to establish new boundaries and rules.

“I believe that people come into counseling with their own solutions.
My job is to create a unique therapy for each individual to help them uncover and build upon strengths they already possess.
I seek to make the therapy room a safe & non-judgmental place for all emotional experiences, and a place to make peace with parts of ourselves that we fear & dislike.
As clients build compassion for themselves, they find their compassion for others growing, and the strength to examine & change their lives for greater happiness & fulfillment.

“My practice focuses on gender and sexual minorities. Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Kink, Poly, Queer. Members of sexual and gender minorities often have a difficult time finding a therapist that does not pathologize our identities or that we have to basically "teach" the therapist about working with us. As a trans and queer identified therapist, I work from a place of affirming and celebrating who we are.

“Often, people who don't fall into rigid categories of male/female, masculine/feminine, straight/gay, or just generally mainstream, have trouble finding acceptance, either from others or within themselves. Sometimes finding your place among the gray areas between extremes can be difficult and frightening. So much of society is geared toward overly simplistic dichotomies, that finding yourself fitting into neither or both categories can feel lonely, especially when people around you don't seem to understand. My hope is to help you see the beauty in who you are, where ever you are on any spectrum.

“I believe that a lively and genuine therapy relationship can be a means to healing and self-discovery. My goal is to help folks gain access to a full range of emotions. As the premiere psychotherapist working with transgender clients in Austin Texas since 1998, I bring unparalleled knowledge and skill to those seeking to understand their own unique identities. I am an affirmative psychotherapist using relational and attachment theory, utilizing mindfulness related to interpersonal neurobiology, I work with individuals, couples, groups and am a Board-approved supervisor for therapists, faciliting individual and group consultation for professionals.

“I strongly believe in prevention and early intervention, as well as allowing individuals with past or present emotional challenges to work at their own pace over the long term. I realize sometimes therapy involves some "risk-taking", such as trusting in the therapeutic relationship and facing uncomfortable or unfamiliar parts of oneself. I do my best to provide an open, safe enviroment for individuals to face those issues.

“Occasionally we need someone to help guide us back to ourselves and to ground in that inner knowledge. Whether it is loss, trauma, our past history, relationships, or simply the chaotic pace of our modern life that has caused us to lose touch, finding our way back helps us to find what we are seeking. Decisions and life transitions then feel a little less burdensome, our relationships less fraught with conflict, our lives a little more joyful. I think Jon Kabat-Zinn found the most eloquent way of saying it...

“I have developed expertise in working with a vast array of problems. Resulting from many years of experience in workplace, academic, healthcare and private practice settings I am focusing on contemporary issues such as: Marital/Relationship Problems; Computer/Internet Problem Behaviors; Stepfamilies; & Parents of Adult Children Who Won't Grow Up.
I prefer to do a thorough assessment and make recommendations for the best help and resources available.
I believe that my clients are quite resiliant and I enjoy helping them graduate from therapy. Although, it has been my experience that my clients return from time to time.

“I work with a wide range of issues from overcoming depression and substance struggles to helping clients discern their life's calling. I am particularly adept at working with clients in technology and other high stress professions. With couples, I focus on the redemptive and healing qualities of appreciation, apology, forgiveness, and hope. In so doing I believe we can revive our latent capacities for resiliency and ever deepening loving partnership. Couples, families, and individuals experience and sustain change and feel equipped to meet the challenges of life long after therapy with me ends.

“I have a loving, direct approach with clear communication, a relaxed, non-judgmental style creating ease in therapy, and an intuitive ability to connect and help others re-connect. I love working with people who seek to deepen their themselves and have more intimate connection with their loved ones, whether that's a child, spouse, parent or other relationship. I want to know who you are, and am here to listen and to be with you exactly where you are in this process. I am here to meet you. Come. Let's explore together.

“You may feel stuck and ready for a change. You may have used your intelligence, motivation or creativity to succeed in the past, but something isn't working as well right now. You may feel disconnected in your relationships and overwhelmed by your emotions. Maybe you're very hard on yourself or have difficulty making decisions. I can help you learn to trust yourself, increase self-compassion, and improve your relationships. Therapy is a process of getting to know yourself and your strengths. Together, we can help you decide what you really want and develop steps to meet your goals.

“Do you find yourself feeling stuck or immobilized by indecision in relationships, career choices, etc? Do peace and happiness feel just beyond your grasp? Does it feel like you keep reliving the same patterns in relationships and arguments, that just aren't working for you or your partner anymore? I am passionate about empowering women, men, and teens as they navigate tough issues such as perfectionism, indecision, and relationship difficulties. I also enjoy assisting couples as we explore the complexities of communication, intimacy, connection, and what it means to foster a satisfying relationship.

“I believe that each person brings a unique narrative and set of concerns to therapy. Whatever brings you here, we will work together to creatively solve problems and enhance well-being through an empowering therapeutic relationship. My aim is to provide a calm and non-judgmental space where change is possible. You are the expert of your experience, and I give unbiased feedback in a way that encourages you to see things in a new light. If you are open to it, we can explore the mind-body connection to increase your capacity for self-care.

“First of all, you are the expert on you. Additionally, one cannot stand in the middle of something and see all the edges clearly.
A therapist serves as an objective guide for a journey toward peace of mind, personal growth and balance.
Some typical problems may include:
• Repetitive behaviors that can cause difficulties in personal or professional relationships.
•Grief, loss or traumatic experiences which feel too heavy or disruptive.
•Underlying sadness - without knowing why.
•Adjusting to, or preparing, for new life roles and situations.
•Excessive anxiety or panic

“Maya Angelou wrote, "We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." Indeed, life is a process of realizations and growth that is not without its roadblocks and challenges. Sometimes we need an extra set of eyes to guide us through the blind spots in which we feel ill at ease and uncertain. Whether you are an individual, family, or couple seeking guidance, I see my task as helping you become "unstuck" in the hardships you have entered into.

“I specialize in comprehensive treatment of mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder that have been poorly responsive to other trials of treatment. As a physician I can prescribe medication, but I also perform several types of therapy to best identify and heal the actual source of the symptoms. I will take the time to review your past treatment, if any, and enjoy improving on previous setbacks or gaps to help you reach your potential.

“At Austin Mindfulness Center we offer a unique perspective to our mental health practice with a mindfulness and acceptance based approach to wellness. Whether you are in great emotional pain, suffering from a lack of vitality, or simply want to be more present in your life, we believe mindfulness is the key to balanced and purposeful living. We aim to be a community resource that promotes education and healing through mindfulness and compassion.

“If you or someone you love struggles with anxiety, emotional regulation, poor social skills, parenting challenges, life transitions, family issues, or independent living then we can help. Our therapists specialize in providing collaborative solutions for individuals with social communication and anxiety challenges. Spectrum therapists are especially tuned to the needs of persons diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, Giftedness and Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). Spectrum therapists apply solutions-based therapy techniques to create the best possible experience for our clients and help you meet your therapeutic goals.
